Mid-life is the stage in our development when we as Christians are particularly sensitive to the deeper questions about the meaning of life. Our souls are at stake as God invites us to move beyond self-image to self- knowledge. Maitland lights this pathway to self-fulfillment and gives new hope to the renaissance of the spirit. He examines the challenges of faith and life and shows us how to integrate our Christian belief with our experience to develop a theology of living. The difficulties and dilemmas of life are acknowledged, assessed, affirmed, and clarified. Using The Apostles' Creed as a springboard to our faith, Maitland enables us to understand ourselves, God, and human existence. The primary focus of this work is "mid-life" but the insights, food for thought, questions, and answers encompass such common human experience that all who are interested in developing a personal theology and fostering their faith will find this enlightening. Maitland's holistic approach to life drawing on principles of theology, psychology, counseling. and faith development offers a helpful and hopeful response to coping with life 248.84 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 248.8'4 Mai l E91000170 Non Fiction 248.84 Mai l E12000975 Non Fiction 248.84 Mai l-2 Looking_Both_Ways_A_Theology_For_Mid_life.jpg 62354 2014-12-16 13:36:58 2025-01-20 09:33:34 machine generated
